Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 8, 2016From Wheaton, IL

Perfect sound for our outdoor wedding and cocktail hour. We didn't meet until the event but he understood what we wanted and handled it all exactly as we requested.

WeddingReviewed on September 3, 2016From Geneva, IL

Cary played our ceremony/cocktail hour music for our wedding. He was absolutely fantastic and provided a unique sound that was exactly what we were looking for. From walking down the aisle to "Somewhere over the rainbow" on the ukulele and the awesome cocktail hour tunes, everyone raved about how great he was and was amazed I found him online! Great guy with a great voice, you won't be disappointed booking him!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 18, 2015From Deerfield, IL

Cary was fantastic and perfect for our party. He is incredibly talented. He played to our music tastes and was very easy to work with. We had a crowd of almost 60 people and had so many comments on how good he was and how he helped make the evening special. Couldn't have asked for anything better - would highly recommend Cary and would definitely work with him again.

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on September 29, 2014From Joliet, IL

Cary did a wonderful job for my son's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The guests were all impressed with his talent. He covers a wide range of music genres., so there is music everyone can enjoy. Most importantly, he is a really nice person to work with and is extremely professional. I would definitely recommend Cary.

Family ReunionReviewed on July 31, 2014From Gurnee, IL

Cary Kanno was a hit!! We felt lucky to have him at our event - Surmanstock. Carry arrived right on time, was pleasant and smiled a lot, accommodated us with a couple of difficult songs he learned at our request. His volume was perfect for or event and he asked if everything was okay during the event, well it was AWESOME!! Cary, we cannot thank you enough, we'll be contacting you for next year's event. Very professional and one of the best voices I've ever heard!! Thanks again!!

Graduation PartyReviewed on July 16, 2014From Glenview, IL

This is the second time I requested Cary Kanno for my outdoor party. I literally changed my original party date (even had to buy new invitations because Cary was booked for that date!) in order to be able to have him play for my party. I love his music and his voice and simply wouldn't settle for less. Once again, everyone loved him from young to old. We had a very diverse group of people and he was able to play music that all groups of people enjoyed. He's a very professional entertainer but also a very nice person so it feels like having a family member singing for us. I recommend him highly for all types of events.

CelebrationReviewed on October 1, 2013From Chicago, IL

We hired Cary for a patio party and he was awesome. Extremelly professional and very talented. The variety of songs he played was also more extensive than any other guitarist I could find. I had several guests inquire about where I found him and commented on how he provided a great atmosphere for the party. I would not hesitate to hire Cary agin.

CelebrationReviewed on August 27, 2013From Chicago, IL

Cary is a true professional and gentleman. He is an incredible talent and everyone at the party raved about him. We had about 50 people on a roof top deck and Cary arrived on time, set up his equipment, and played wonderfully. He played such a wide variety of music that everyone was able to enjoy the evening. He took requests from the crowd and got everyone dancing by the end of the evening. We will definitely hire him again for our next party. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment of any sort. Thanks Cary!!

The performance was great exactly what we wanted.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on September 18, 2012From Grayslake, IL

I've been having a hard time coming up with words to explain how perfect Cary helped make our wedding. We hired him to play indoors for our reception but he ended up popping outside and playing our cocktail hour too! He learned a few new songs for the reception and they were incredible. We were so touched by the obvious effort he put into learning them, and learning them well. Between his laid back personality and great play list, we could not have asked for a better performance. He was the highlight of our wedding. Well, after the whole getting married part. Thank you!!!

Graduation PartyReviewed on June 7, 2012From Cary, IL

Cary was fabulous! He was prompt, courteous, professional and exquisite in his performance. Guests from 18 – 70 enjoyed the music and asked me “Where/How did you find him?!” Everyone was thoroughly impressed. As several of our guests had been members of the high school musical groups, Cary was enthusiastic & welcoming when a few of our party-goers wanted to sing with him. He performed a wonderful variety of music – engaging everyone’s taste in music. I wished he could have played for many more hours…..He was great! Cary was an absolute hit at our party. I would recommend him highly and I certainly would hire him again for another event.

Cary did a fantastic job at our holiday party. He arrived right on time. Everyone loved the music and had a blast. We would recommend him to others for sure!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 3, 2011From Madison, WI

Cary was a HUGE hit at our wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased. His voice and guitar playing abilites are amazing. He was professional, courteous, flexible, accomodating, and knew how to read the audience. We had kids and adults of all ages dancing throughout. Never an empty dance floor. Wish we could have another party soon so Cary can come back! Thanks so much for making our event so memorable. (Highly recommend "Angel Dream" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" both acoustic covers - his renditions were better than the originals!) -- Brian and Marilen, Madison, Wisconsin

Cary Kanno's performance was smooth and beautifully played at our wedding reception. He is a skilled guitarist with warm vocals and a huge song repertoire. Our wedding guests loved him! Cary is a delightful alternative to a wedding DJ. Mike & Michelle Bos
